No room for complacency as Boks open November tour against Japan
Saturday Star
|November 01, 2025
THE Springboks are taking nothing for granted ahead of their November tour opener against Japan at Wembley Stadium this evening (6.10pm kickoff), with captain Siya Kolisi stressing the importance of treating the Brave Blossoms with full respect.
Despite the world champions being heavily favoured to win, Kolisi has made it clear that there will be no room for complacency, especially as the team looks to build early momentum.
The Boks know from bitter experience that Japan is capable of producing major upsets on the world stage — their famous victories over South Africa in 2015 and Ireland and Scotland in 2019 still resonate within the international rugby community.
